Mapping the Shadow: A Type-Based Approach to Shadow Work – Max Chegwyn

October 24 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm Australia/Sydney

Discover how to integrate the shadow using Type and the Seven Habits of Individuation model. In this presentation we will explore the common ways in which Type maps to Persona-Shadow dynamics and the different practices each Type can use for integration and psychospiritual growth.

Jungian Shadow Work is increasingly being used as a coaching tool. More people are recognising the benefits of integrating deeper aspects of themselves to bring balance to their lives, careers, and relationships. However, the shadow is not something that can be easily captured in a concept or identified independently.

In this presentation, we will discuss how Type can be used as a foundation for mapping and integrating the shadow. We will examine the most common ways Type correlates with Persona-Shadow dynamics and how this serves as a valuable tool for identifying shadow material. Finally, we will explore how different classifications of shadow material can be integrated using the Seven Habits of Individuation model.

Elvis Presley: Exploring the 8 Jungian functions & type development with Mary McGuiness

September 2 @ 1:30 pm – 2:45 pm Australia/Brisbane

Explore the life and music of Elvis Presley, his use of the 8 Jungian functions and type development. We will use the work of Gary & Margaret Hartzler to look at differences between poorly developed and well-developed functions.

This session is a keynote at the From Shadows to Showtime Conference, 1-2 September in Brisbane. Further details below.

Enjoy glimpses of the life and music of Elvis Presley as we explore the 8 Jungian functions and the process of personality development. Type theory tells us that we can use all the 8 Jungian functions (cognitive processes), but each type prefers certain functions and struggles to use and develop the others. Gary and Margaret Hartzler in Functions of Type list several skills associated with each of the 8 functions. These skills illustrate why a poorly developed function will be expressed differently to a function that is well developed. By looking at evidence from Elvis’s life, his music and his own words we will try to identify how he used each function, how his use of the functions changed over time, and how the changes were reflected in his music. And we will use the opportunity to reflect briefly on our own use of each function. This session will include theory, storytelling, some brief interaction and reflection, film and, of course music!

Personality Instruments: what to select and how they can assist

April 13 @ 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm AEST

Adam Le Good & Rod Winning present Personality instruments, what to select and how they can assist in a practical, useful, fun evening with two top trainers, includes video.

While the focus will be on consultants, Human Resources & Organisational Development & Training and Development professionals who are most likely to be organising these interventions, the session will have applicability for anyone who is curious about what various instruments do and do not do, and how to select according to group needs. Adam and Rod will also provide information about the way that results and familiarity with the instrument’s results may lead to problem solving, coaching, counselling, and training with groups and organisations.

Adam and Rod have a series of videos in production entitled ‘Personality and Behaviour’ explaining that instruments are either essentially personality or behaviour identifiers, behaviour being an outcome of personality and context. The video series will be useful to a wide range of practitioners, students, HR & OD & consultants.

The first episode has been completed.  It is a broad level overview which compares the following instruments – MBTI, Herrmann, TMS, Belbin, Enneagram, DISC Advanced. It is not rating them, more looking for areas where they are best suited or perhaps not suited for.  They have interviewed practitioners from peak bodies in each of these styles.

If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition and one of its key features is described as persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across multiple contexts. The symptoms cause clinically significant impairments in social, occupational and other areas of functioning (DSM-5, APA, 2013 pp. 50-51).

  • • There are approximately 30,000 young adults with ASD in Australia.
  • • Only 28% of this group complete tertiary courses post school.
  • • 50% of this group are unemployed.
  • • Less than half of this cohort has friends.
  • • 50 -70% of this group suffer from anxiety and depression.
  • • This group of Australians spend on average 9 hours a day engaged in solitary technology-based activities.

Currently, there are no social skills coaching programs for young adults with ASD in Australia. Neary, P., Gilmore, L., and Ashburner, J. 2015. ‘Post-school needs of young people with high- functioning autism spectrum disorder.’ Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders 18:1- 11.

Code Blue for Autism, was founded by Helen and Michael Whelan in Brisbane, Queensland. Helen has a background in the Creative Arts, Nursing and Michael is a performer, musician, writer, and esteemed academic who has led numerous research projects working with young people with autism.

In 2017, in the absence of any suitable social skill programs for their autistic son, Helen and Michael designed and developed the Chill program for young adults on the autism spectrum. To them, this situation was an ‘emergency’, or in medical terms a ‘Code Blue’. Since then, they have become the industry leaders in this arena.

Links between type and autism will be explored in this fascinating workshop.

TYPE DATA:

Meredith will present the results of her small sample of People with Autism and Aspergers + AHDH who have completed the MBTI inventory. She will also discuss her observations on a number of children/adolescents on the ASD scale.

” 10 people have completed the MBTI and confirmed in discussion. I will be asking our participants to consider their hunches before giving the results. The observation of a number of children has also led to some likely TYPE preferences; as these are relatives there has been extensive observation to draw upon.  Russell is also familiar with TYPE and will share his observations of the young people he has been working with,” Meredith Fuller OAM Psychologist

Sands of Time: Revisiting AusAPT’s first conference—Phil Kerr

The Australian Association for Psychological Type (AusAPT) was formed in October 1991 at Australia’s first type conference, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator: Australian Perspectives. The fledgling association’s leaders immediately set about convening another conference, this time in AusAPT’s own name. The first issue of the Australian Journal for Psychological Type (March 1992) announced that: The newly formed [AusAPT] will hold its first National Conference on the Sunshine Coast, at Twin Waters Resort, commencing on Wednesday, 30 September 1992. This conference seeks to explore all aspects of Psychological Type including application and practice in the field, research, the concerns of practitioners and others, (more…)

The Most Common Enneagram Types of Each MBTI Type—Joyce Meng

October 9, 2022 @ 9:00 am – 10:00 am Australia/Sydney

The Most Common Enneagram Types of Each MBTI Type | How the Enneagram Intersects with the 16 Types

A current trend in the MBTI community is the heavy incorporation of the Enneagram.

The presentation will be geared around the most common Enneagram types for each of the 16 types. I describe an overview of the Enneagram types, how it overlays with the MBTI, and why it is becoming a trend in the MBTI community to combine these two systems.

The session outcome will be to teach people about the correlations between the Enneagram and MBTI and to teach the basics of the Enneagram. Audience members will walk away with a better understanding of type and why the Enneagram is becoming more popular in the MBTI community.

Creating a Type Community and Business in Japan—Harumi Gondo

October 8, 2022 @ 2:45 pm – 3:45 pm Australia/Sydney

Creating a Type Community and Business in Japan – How I went from charging 100 to 100,000 yen a session

Harumi Gondo got off the plane from the US to Tokyo 9 years ago. She barely spoke the language and experienced severe culture shock in Japan. She went from knowing nothing about the culture and knowing no one to managing a busy type community of mothers and a growing business contracting the team of mothers who have now become expert practitioners in Type.

She will share her experiences with Japanese mothers, who highly prioritize conformity and keeping their mouth shut. She will also share her experience in building a growth-based Type community and how she as an ENFJ avoided poverty and poor health to achieving a six figure income through knowing and developing her Type.

Harumi Gondo was certified in MBTI in 2013 and began training others in Type the day after she was certified. She has over 8000 hours of training experience. She established a type-based community in Japan and founded a company that runs training for companies.
